“…The use of TIVS is associated with thrombosis rate of 5% with TIVS, amputation rates of 18%, and an overall survival rate of 73% [18]. Hossny et al has shown that TIVS is associated with reduced intraoperative ischemic time, complications, repeat operations, amputation rates (overall limb salvage rate of 76.5%), and hospital length of stay [4]. Therefore, they advocate the routine use of TIVS in blunt popliteal artery injuries with complete lower limb ischemia [4].…”
